X-RAY INSPECTION [14 records]

Record 1 2025-03-24

English

Subject field(s)
  • Medical Imaging
  • Diagnostic Procedures (Medicine)
  • Collaboration with WIPO
CONT

Non-invasive imaging broadly encompasses techniques for generating images of the internal structures or regions of an object or person that are otherwise inaccessible for visual inspection. One of the best known uses of non-invasive imaging is in the medical arts where these techniques are used to generate images of organs... inside a patient which would otherwise not be visible. Examples of such non-invasive imaging modalities include X-ray radiography and other X-ray based imaging techniques, such as tomosynthesis.

CONT

non-invasive medical imaging; non-invasive imaging: designations validated by Canadian subject-matter experts from the Department of Medical Imaging, Saskatchewan Health Authority, and from the Université de Montréal and the Centre for Interdisciplinary Research in Rehabilitation of Greater Montreal.

Key term(s)
  • non invasive medical imaging
  • non invasive imaging

French

Domaine(s)
  • Imagerie médicale
  • Méthodes diagnostiques (Médecine)
  • Collaboration avec l'OMPI
CONT

Ces variantes anatomiques peuvent être détectées par l'imagerie non invasive, en particulier les séquences de cholangio-IRM [imagerie par résonance magnétique]. Les variations anatomiques semblent indépendantes des variations artérielles.

OBS

imagerie non invasive; imagerie médicale non invasive; imagerie non effractive; imagerie médicale non effractive : Certains spécialistes conseillent de privilégier «effractif» quand il qualifie un acte médical ou chirurgical et déconseillent l'usage d'«invasif» dans ce sens.

OBS

imagerie non invasive; imagerie médicale non invasive; imagerie non effractive; imagerie médicale non effractive : désignations validées par des spécialistes canadiens de l'Université de Montréal et du Centre de recherche interdisciplinaire en réadaptation du Montréal métropolitain ainsi que de l'École de réadaptation de la Faculté de médecine et des sciences de la santé de l'Université de Sherbrooke.

CONT

Commercial cargo at Blaine travels through a new fourteen million-dollar facility. At this facility, a commercial truck with a container full of foreign goods can have its cargo cleared and entered into the U. S. in less than a minute. That same conveyance can be selected for inspection and required to back up to the loading dock or old to pull ahead to the mobile X-ray vehicle.

CONT

... we showed our immigration cards to pass on to the flight waiting room. Since we passed through all these points relatively quickly, we had to wait an hour or so before boarding. When it was finally time to board, we walked outside, ran our bags through a security X-ray vehicle, and proceeded to the jet.
